OMG my roof half caved in..

half my roof lining is coming down
anyone got any idea on how i can fix this..
i got adheisive.. and it wouldnt work unless i got the foam stuff out.. but that was making a mess on my car seats..

any shops in adelaide that will fix it and how much
thanks. :facejump:

i got new upholstery done at ordinary upholsterers. They'll take the whole lining out and you can drive around whilst they do it. No point trying to glue it - it will stain and look horrible ;)

Might as well throw some dynamat up there when the lining is off!

how much it cost you?

im using pins! have been for 4 years lol

about $100-$150

shop around from motor trimmers for a quote

or find a good liner at a wrecker

I had a qoute from one in Raceview said $175 from would be interested in knowing anyone that does it cheaper
apparently the spray cans of glue cost $50 retail.

It's a very cheap DIY job, and you get to choose what material you put up! Do a search, should be plenty of info. Was a hot topic several years ago.

I was at a panel beaters this week and, to save some money, he suggested pulling the foam and lining out myself and taking the foam to a motor trimmer for recovering with a new lining. He had it done to his own work van and it looked very smart.

To get the foam out (after taking out the bits that get in the way, like overhead courtesy lights, sun visors, door pillar trims etc), he said you have to fold the front seats right down, and then somehow manoeuvre the foam out one of the open doors. Good luck.

BTW, I'm using bulldog clips to hold the lining up on one or two corners. Practical but not elegant.

thats what i did takes like 20 min to get out cost me 60.00 for someone to put new linning on

I did my own for 25 dollars max including brand new material was easy as. took off the trims and light and popped the cardboard insert out the back door and scraped the old glue off, sprayed and layed out zebra print material. put it back in with a bit of maneuvering. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r258/payner233/05052011587.jpg this is the finished product
